Mom Opts Out of Party Bags at her six year old's birthday party, Guests Take Back Gifts......(link)

Posted by Walt_Disney (aka Walt_Disney) Jun 25 '15, 13:51

Am I showing my age in this when I would not expect to give goody bags to children that come to my childs b-day party? The kids come to the party because they want to have fun. I would not even expect the kids that are coming to bring gifts. Or if they did, the gift should not be more than $10.

Is this what I have to look forward to for Princess Disney?

- Some of the kids around here have been having "toonie birthdays", where instead of presents, the guests just give a toonie. - Beryllium Jun 25, 13:54 5
  - Toonie? -- nm - sycor Jun 25, 13:55 3

  - i love those parents. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 13:54
Around here, I think you're considered a horrible parent if your kid's party doesn't have goody bags. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 13:52 1
- "guests take back gifts", though ... that's BS -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 13:53
